Yay! The corset was a success. Much fun. The Sports Banquet was... eh. But I thought I looked nice so that's all that mattered. I was supposed to get a bar for my second year of basketball. Hum. Oh well. I'll talk to Mr. Price tomorrow. It's not like it's a huge deal or something... I hate basketball anyway.

I talked to Mrs. Dempsey about my heart thing today. I just felt like she was someone who would give me really good advice and she's very very smart. I told her that it only happens when I'm tired and everything and she said that during your teenage years; growing, changing, you know. All the stuff you heard in health class. She said that a teenager, on the average, should be getting nine to ten hours of sleep a night. Well. That I don't do. Plus, I have all this stress of end of the year projects, exams, and my mom, blah blah. And to add on to all that, I'm the type of person, who, if I have a problem, I will keep it inside and usually not tell anyone. Half the time I don't even mean to do that. I've been so jaded from past experiances that I've become an introvert. I keep everything inside and don't tell anyone... my parents have noticed this over the past couple of years. I told my mom that I hope she's not upset... it's not like I hate my parents. Some things I just want to keep to myself. And the rest of the time I'm not even realizing that I'm doing it. But anyway. Mrs. Dempsey gave me a lot of reassurance and stuff... the combination of lack of sleep and stress and everything kinda comes together, I guess. I guess it was pretty good to actually talk to someone about it. But all the same, she said I should probably go in and have an exam done; just to be on the safe side. I was going to do that anyway when I go in for my physical. Paranoia has gone down somewhat. Happiness.

Tomorrow we're going out to eat for Mother's Day. And then later on that day me and Dad are going to see X-Men 2! WOOT! I'm so excited! BAMF!

Are you having heart palpitations? I have that sometimes. Now especially after all that happened to me... I've done like 4 cardio exams, and nothing is wrong apparently.

Yah, I guess you could say that. I've been to the doctor before, too, and they said there was nothing wrong. My dad had them as well, and when he went in, he was fine. The doctor told him that all it is, is the heart didn't pump out all the blood the first time, so that strong "thump" that you feel is the extra blood pumping out the second time. Wokay. I'll believe that.

You have that as well as the panic attacks? Eek. I feel for ya'.
